It’s hard to believe that just over a month ago was the first time the Top 20 took the stage and now, we’re staring down the barrel of the finale with only six contestants left after tonight. But even the harshest critics of the show’s new Stage vs. Street format have to agree that the […]
SYTYCD12: The Top 10 Join Forces With The All-Stars
Despite some great routines up to this point, I think it’s safe to say that most SYTYCD fans wait for the night where the show’s best alumni, the “all-stars”, join the ten remaining contestants for some routines that are just that much better for the involvement of a pro and we definitely had a few of those […]
SYTYCD12: The Top 14 Dance Again and the Top 10 is Revealed!
Last week, our consummate host Cat Deeley spilled the unfortunate beans that we’d be losing four members of our talented Top 14 and with the deck so stack, especially on the Street side of things (at least, in my opinion), I knew we’d likely lose at least one dancer before their time tonight, but before we […]
Best Photo Editing Apps for Your Summer Snaps
It’s August, which means that we are deep into the summer season with long warm days filled with golden light. It also means vacations and adventures, and prime photo-taking opportunities!

SYTYCD12: The Top 16 Deliver Some Sweetness
Perhaps executive producer and judge Nigel Lythgoe heard the cries of fans for more pairs routines, as they’ve produced some of the season’s most memorable moments thus far, or maybe it was always in the plans, but last night’s show was arguably the season’s best yet as some of the night’s duos had some tricks up […]
SYTYCD12: The Top 18 Get Mixed and Matched
After we said goodbye to waacker Lily and ballet dancer Darion last Monday night, the remaining 18 contestants got to work on their new routines. Unlike seasons past, they wouldn’t be dancing with the same partners every week and so, this week, we saw new configurations and new styles that gave some dancers a chance […]
SYTYCD12: Top 20 Take on New Styles for the First Time
Tonight the Top 10 “Stage” and Top 10 “Street” dancers were put to the test as the teams were mixed and matched and some dancers were forced to dance genres they’ve never seen before. Some rose to the occasion and others, as Nigel put it, turned into “yogurt”. After each routine, the unflappable Cat Deeley […]
SYTYCD12: Top 20 Take the Stage (and Street) for the First Time
On Monday night, the 10 “Stage” dancers and 10 “Street” dancers that comprised mentors Travis and Twitch’s teams took to the stage for the first time in their own styles. The two hour showcase gave viewers a point of comparison to make snap judgments about their favorites before taking to phones and facebook to cast […]
SYTYCD12: Stage vs. Street Cast Preview
With SYTYCD’s fate on the rocks after crowning last season’s winner Ricky Ubeda, executive producer and judge Nigel Lythgoe made a bold move by replacing permanent fixture on the judging panel and scream queen Mary Murphy with previous American Idol judge Paula Abdul and pop star Jason Derulo. Their star power combined with a new […]
All Hail Royal London!
Back in April, I embarked on my first Eurotrip to England. As an English Literature major and British History nerd, it was imperative that I devoted a generous amount of my time to exploring the majestic and glorious sights of Royal London. I visited Buckingham Palace, Kensington Palace, and the Tower of London, and took day trips […]
Making the Most of Summer Reading for a Relaxing Wind Down
The sun is shining. The sky is blue. Perhaps there’s even a light breeze. Maybe you’re at the park. Or sitting on a blanket at the beach. Maybe you’re just relaxing on your balcony. Wherever you are, summer is right around the corner, and with that comes one of the best summer activities – reading.
